Naruto: Immortal Spirit

"Then, Kato-kun, you need to work hard..."

"The second of the three ways to unlock the curse seal is to learn the curse seal and try to break it."

Orochimaru seemed to have some appreciation in his eyes as he left the research room, and Kato Oo was suddenly the only one left in the empty room.

Only then did his thoughts slowly return.

"Uncle Yuan, are you dead..."

Although Orochimaru didn't say anything, Kato Ou never thought that there would be such a coincidence. Even without any thinking, he already roughly understood whose handiwork this kind of thing was, and he was all too familiar with it.

"Shimura Danzo..."

The person who now controls his life seems to have erased all traces of his existence. It is not just him. The so-called root without a name, no past and no future. Most people are either dead or not mentioned. .

Except for the roots, they no longer exist in any other archives of Konoha.

You are not allowed to enter or leave the root base at will, you are not allowed to communicate with anyone outside the base at will, and you are not allowed to appear in the village without instructions. Anyone who violates this will be killed.

If Orochimaru didn't have a high enough status, he might not get any other detailed information about the Kato family until he died fighting for the root.

"Come on, come on..."

Kato Oo held the scroll in his hand tightly, which was the reward given to him by Orochimaru. He cleared his mind, silently opened the scroll, and began to study it carefully.

"The art of erasing facial expressions..."

Orochimaru seemed to have a bit of appreciation for him, so he didn't hesitate to help him a little bit.

This has never happened before. Orochimaru will only give him some ordinary ninjutsu at will - it will not be considered as Orochimaru's unique ninjutsu, and most of them are illusions.

"Oshemaru... my lord..."

Kato Ou silently finished reading the scroll, his heart slightly agitated. Orochimaru seemed to know what he was thinking.

The art of erasing faces is Orochimaru's unique ninjutsu. It is not as easy as Katoo imagined. He stopped all experiments and focused solely on the art of erasing faces.

Two months passed in a hurry, and Kato Ou finally mastered the art of erasing the face. Orochimaru came several times but never said anything, and even gave him a few words of guidance.

……

The research base was inexplicably quiet today.

Even a minute before he left the research base, he still had an unreal illusion.

Although Orochimaru's research base is not in the root base, the research base that was strictly guarded by root ninjas in the past prohibited anyone from exploring except for a few people, and he was among the people who were prohibited from entering.

But today, there was no root ninja at all. He walked out of the research base as if he was aboveboard.

Kato Oo had a vague guess in his mind, but he seemed a little unbelievable.

The streets of Konoha are not much different from when Kato Ou entered the roots more than four years ago, but today they seem a bit more prosperous.

A big man carrying goods was walking towards him. As soon as he reached Kato Oo's side, he suddenly froze. Then his face became inexplicably calm, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said in a tone familiar to Kato Oo. The words made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Return to the research room before five o'clock in the afternoon..."

Kato Oo guessed right, Orochimaru used some method to allow him to walk out of the research base unimpeded.

"Huh? What happened just now?"

The big man suddenly came back to his senses, looked around with confusion on his face, then looked at Kato Oo, and then he started to smile again.

"Brother, would you like to buy two kilograms of fresh fruit?"

"it is good!"

A person who considers his subordinates is a respectable person. Even Kato Oo once had some thoughts about treating Orochimaru and Danzo as the same kind of people, but now, he sincerely agrees with this cold person from the bottom of his heart. Mr. Face Snake.

……

Konoha's cemetery is not difficult to find, and it didn't take long for Kato Ou to find the place where Kato Haruka was buried.

A small monument roughly records Kato Haruka's life.

Kato Oo looked at it from a distance and did not come closer. He just put the fruit in his hand on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of Kato Yuan's tombstone.

He stared in silence for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Uncle Yuan, you are such a big clan leader, and such a small monument is too inappropriate for your status. When I have the opportunity, I will replace it with a larger one for you."

"Uncle Yuan, I will live and live well..."

"I will marry more wives, have a lot of children, and then make the Kato family big."

"Don't wait for me to see you. If you want to see you, you have to come up and see me..."

"Lord Orochimaru is a good man. I heard him say that there is a technique that can summon the dead back. You wait a few years. When I have a lot of children, I will call you out and take a look. Don't blame me then. I’ll just interrupt your party with Uncle Duan.”

"You lie down here first. Don't be too dissatisfied with the small space. Chat more with the neighbors."

Kato Ou's rambling words seemed to make up for the silence every day for these years. His voice was very small, and in his perception, no one could get close to him.

"That's it. Lord Orochimaru is still waiting for me to come back. I'll see you next time..."

When he came out of the cemetery, Kato Oo sighed slightly, as if all his words had been exhausted, and he fell into a long silence.

An inexplicable feeling of loneliness swept over him, as if he was the only one in the world, and the whole world was blurred.

"Little brother, my condolences..."

The crisp female voice brought Kato Oo back to reality. In front of him was a red-haired woman. She seemed to be in a hurry. She took out some tissues from her bag and handed them over.

"Thank you...thank you..."

Kato Oo looked at the red-haired woman in front of him with vigilance. In his perception, this woman was like a volcano about to explode, full of evil, gloom, and violence at one moment, and gentle, kind, and sunny at the other.

Two contradictory emotions are constantly conflicting, but they seem to be suppressed by something...

"Little brother, don't be afraid, we are not bad people..."

As if he could read minds, Kato Oo felt that this woman seemed to be aware of his own emotions. This was something he had never encountered before. He couldn't help but take a closer look at the strange woman in front of him.

"Hey! Kid, what's that look in your eyes?"

"Am I that kind of strange woman?!!"

"Kushina, this...little brother, what happened?"

Before Kato Oo could speak, a young ninja with blond hair appeared next to Kushina instantly.

"Minato, you're here..."

As if there was an instant change, the woman named Kushina became extremely gentle again in the next moment.

Kato was stunned for a moment. He could probably sense that this young man was a very powerful ninja, perhaps second only to Orochimaru in his perception.

"Teacher Watergate!"

Behind the blond-haired Jonin, a child about the same age as Kato Oo wearing goggles ran over panting, followed by a cute little girl with a bit of baby fat.

"Obito, run slower..."

"Don't worry, Lin, I am the one who wants to become Hokage!"

The child named Obito looked back at the little girl and smiled even more happily, but he didn't seem to notice it. He staggered two steps and seemed about to fall down.

"With soil!"

Kato Omoto was not ready to take action, but he could feel the child named Obito's heart as warm as the sun. He involuntarily threw a small stone in his hand and hit the nerve in his leg.

"Ok?"

Obito felt a numbness in his legs, but he stood firmly.He looked at his feet in surprise, and then laughed.

"Hahaha, Lin, look, God is blessing me..."

The yellow-haired man named Minato narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at each other with Kushina, showing a gentle smile.

"Little brother, you are very good. Can I know your name?"

Kushina came up and touched Kato Oo's hair. Although Kato Oo wanted to dodge, he seemed to be intimidated by a special momentum. He was stunned for a moment and could only stand where he was, but he still maintained his position. In silence.

"Minato-sensei, where is that stinky guy Kakashi? We agreed to use one to pay homage to the commemorative monument..."

"Obito, don't worry..."

Minato touched Obito's little head, and then Obito noticed that the boy opposite him was having his head played with like him.

"Minato-sensei... who is he?"

"An interesting kid..."

Kato Ou couldn't bear to be treated like a child like this. He glanced at Obito who looked stupid, just took a step back, and then disappeared with a teleportation technique.

"Hey! Hey! Minato-sensei! He looks as old as me, and he can actually teleport!"

"That's right, Obito, the teacher didn't expect that either..."

"Obito, it's your silly appearance that scares people away..."

Kushina knelt down, made a face, pulled Obito's ear and shook it.

Lin looked at Obito's appearance and burst into laughter. Obito looked unconvinced at first, but after hearing Lin's laughter, he suddenly felt happy.

"Obito, you said you're not stupid? What about your flowers?"

It was as if Obito heard a bolt from the blue, and he was stunned.

"Oops! It's over, it's over, I forgot to bring the flowers..."

"Lin, I forgot to bring flowers, what should I do, what should I do..."

"Obito, when I came here just now, I saw some flowers growing by the jungle over there. Let's go pick some and bring them over?"

"Lin, I thank you so much, hahaha, you are indeed Lin, I didn't even notice..."

Boys all seem to have the same silly look. Obito's silly smile and the way he touches the back of his head are no different from most ordinary boys.

"Then hurry up!"

Kushina lightly knocked on Obito's head. Obito held his head and cried out in pain, but he and Rin hurried over.

"The two little guys are so energetic..."

"Kushina, did you find anything?"

Obito and Rin went to pick flowers, and then Minato looked at Kushina.

"That kid just now?"

"Well... when I first got here, I felt a strong mood of gloom and destruction nearby, so I came over to take a look."

"However, I felt a kind of pain, sadness and hesitation, and then I handed the child a few tissues. You will know the next thing..."

"It must be that a relative has just passed away, and I am overly sad. However, it seems that this child is not bad..."

Kushina smiled, not caring that Kato Ou didn't tell her his name.

"Somewhat similar to Kakashi..."

Minato nodded. With him around, Kushina's safety was naturally safe. However, this child gave him a strange feeling, but he didn't know what was strange about it.

"At this age, you have already learned the teleportation technique, and you seem to be very familiar with the human body. Are you from the medical department?"

Minato thought of Kakashi and then Kato Oo, and he could only sigh in his heart. It was normal for a child at such a young age to lose a relative and have a somewhat gloomy personality.

"It would be great if I could change this situation..."

"Minato, what are you thinking about?"

"Kushina..."

"I'm thinking about how we can make these children live a better life, prevent their parents from dying when their children are young, and make the world peaceful..."

"Watergate……"

"Although it is difficult, I will always support you..."

Kushina listened to Minato's words and gently held Minato's hand. She looked at Minato tenderly, and Minato gently embraced Kushina.

"Shame, shame, shame! Minato-sensei! Obito doesn't dare to look at it!"

"With soil!"

Kushina's red hair seemed to be flying, she grabbed Obito and rubbed his hair hard.

"Master Kushina, Obito doesn't dare anymore..."

"Hahaha……"

Lin's laughter was like a silver bell, and Minato also narrowed his eyes and laughed.
